Welcome to the site and good job on improving every week.
Keep at it.
Where are you from Tezza? You mention cricket. Not a sport that is typically played in the US.
New to posting on the forums, but figured this was any easy one to get in on
So far I'm 3 weeks into the only league I'm currently bowling in, which is a triples league. This was the only league I bowled last year as well, which was after a 10 year layoff. I averaged 185 over the entire season last year.
This year didn't start off too well for the first 2 weeks, but I was battling an injury with one of my bowling fingers courtesy of training for cricket. It was relatively painful and I couldn't use my plastic spare ball due to my finger being swollen. Right hand spares were an issue and my release was quite inconsistent so minimal strikes. It's still causing me issues but not as much now, so the other night wasn't so bad scores wise.
Anyway, the first 3 weeks have gone as follows:
Wk1: 146, 157, 163 = 466
Wk2: 199, 156, 159 = 516
Wk3: 190, 190, 247 = 627

Tezza, G'Day! Saw you're from Australia in your introduction post.
Answered my own question.

Yep, Perth in Western Australia. I did wonder whether many of you would know what cricket is![]()
I continued last weeks form into this week, with 3 pretty solid games:
Wk4: 235, 193, 226 = 654
First game had two open frames; a 7 1 and a single pin (7). Second game had two open frames as well; pocket 8-10 split and a single pin (10). Third game was clean. Pretty happy overall with this week, although two single pin misses and a solid pocket 8-10 aren't so good. After this week my average will be moving from 178 to 188, so a fair jump there.
Thanks, I hope so!
Not bad, considering I know I have a bunch of things to work on when I have a chance to comprehensively look through the videos of myself I got taken a little while ago.
Somewhat mixed results this week, including my best game since I came back to bowling last year:
Wk5: 172, 279, 193 = 644
First game had 3 open frames; a 0 8 in the first frame (can't recall the last time I did that) and 2 single pins (4 and 10 pins). Second game was clean with only a solid pocket 10 pin keeping me from perfection. Third game had 2 open frames; a baby split and a pocket 8-10. Fairly happy with this week except for the single pin misses and the first frame gutter ball. After this week my average will be moving up again from 188 to 193.
Nice game keep up the good work
